CAR HEATING DISCUSSED.
Public Opinion Gives the Stove Its
Boot Toe.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE methods Of heat
Ing railway cars were the important topicsof
discussion before the Western railway club,
last evening. Recent railway disasters from
overturned stoves, and the consequent alarm
ing loss Of life attendant thereto gave
added interest to the discussion. About one
hundred members Of the club, composed
mainly Of master mechanics and railroad en-
ployes interested In the motive power OF the
roads, were present.
William Barr, superintendent Of the car
department OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railway Company, said his company
had now under experimental tests, two sys-
TENS, one Of which included a store house
for coal under the car, and the other derived
its heating qualities from the locomotive, ,and
could be transmitted through any number of
cars by steam pipes directly connected with
the cars on the train, whether there were
i've or twelve passenger coaches in transit
VIM. Martin explained the theory Of low
pressure steam heating, which provided for
well wrapped communicating pipes, connect
ing with all the cars on the train, and which
derived its power from the locomotive. To
an objection made. that the car detached
from train at station could not be heated
Martin said heated boilers could be arranged
at proper intervals, IL order to supply the
decessary amount Of heat to disused cars.
Angus Sinclair said that the question of
Improved car heating apparatus was press
ing demand Of the hour. Today, railroad
companies were using the primitive stove of
nifty years ago. 1t vas apparent TO every in
telligent mind, that some new device was nee
essary to protect the lives OF passengers in
case of derailment or accident. "iSe stoves
will have to CO." said President VIM. Sc9tt,
mot only because they are menace to the
public, but because public opinion has con
demned them"

THE LoNcsHoREMEN
Refused Work by the Old Dominion
Company.
Longshoremen Will Leave 4e and
Organize by Themselves.

New YORK, Feb. 17.-Captain Bourne Of
the Old Dominion Steamship Line, replying
to a deputation of strikers who called on him
with view to their getting back to work,
SAID that he had $50 men at work who were
equally as good now as the strikers and he
did not intend to discharge any of them to
make room for men who. at the call of ire
sponsible parties, were liable to leave the
company in the lurch again as they had be-
fore. The proposal recently made for the
men to give some security was not favorably
received by the men, and now they are left
in the cold, as the Longshoremen's Union
and District Assembly 40 refuse to render
them any assistance. The men who were
thus threwn out OF work are very indignant
at being ignored by 40 and say that there Is
nothing left for them but to become "scabs."
They also state that either Putnam and tfose
who run 49 or the Longshoremen,s Union
must be broken up The Old Dominion
Company will not have any further dealings
with its old hands. 1t has been definitely
decided that the lOngshOremen Will with
draw from District Assembly No. az. Ac-
tion will be very likely taken upon this mat
ter at the next Sunday meeting. at which
time 1t is expected that the engineers and
boatmen viii also return their charters and
leave the order. This move will cost Assem-
bly, 40 more than 10000 members. The long
shoremen, after withdrawing from the
Knights, have plan for the organization Of
their unions into one body, which shall con-
troll the actions of the members when 1t is
deemed necessary to order a strike hereafter.
Only l0ngSh0remen Will be order ed out, but
they assert that work will be so effectually
suspended that they will have no difficulty
in bringing employers of labor TO accede TO
their terms. When one Of the leaders was
asked this morning III the EMPLOYERS were
not compelling workmen whom they took
back to leave labor organizations, he answer
ed: 'Yes, but Wen get all the nen back
again"

BLAINE AND THE PRESIDENCY.
What Ex-Cov. Rice Has TO Say About
the Campaign of 1893.

WASHINGTON, Feb 17.-Ex-Gov. Rice is
quoted in today's Philadelphia Times as
saying in reply to the query, ."What do you
think Of Blaine's chance?"
81 have always been very friendly toward
MIR. Blaine and have seen him within the
past year. This matter of his candidacy has
been carefully talked over. You will find
before he permits himself to become a candi-
date, that he will carefully estimate his
chances in campaign. l do not think that
he has any desire to force himself forward
nor even permit the impetus Iand indiscreet
zeal of his more enthusiastic supporters to
influence him. He can just as well decide
for himself. He knows what opposition he
encountered two years ago, and whether he
Is any stronger now. There is no doubt that
very positive feeling of uncertainty exists
in the minds of many of his followers of
1884 They are willing that he should run
with fair chance Of success, but he hesi-
tates about taking all the chances the other
way. You can bear in mind that Massachu-
sets will support the Republican candidate
and give him her vote"
The ex-governor added, says the Times
correspondent, that the choice Of candidate
by the Republicans.would be very largely
influenced by the position Of the Democratic
party in New York as to their candidate.

the WHITE RIVER DISASTER.
A New Theory OF the Cause Of the
Accident.

BRocKToN, Mass, Feb. 17.-Mr. David
Remilliard, a well known dye manufacturer
OF this city, who was one Of the few passen-
gers on the Central Vermont train which
was recently wercked near Hartford, VT,
who escaped without injury, returned today
from Montreal. His experience gives rise to
new theory as to the cause of the disaster
and discl0ses one or two facts not brought
out in the commissioners investigation at
White River Junction.
Mr. Remilliard states he was riding In the
smoker, cOnversing with gentleman whose
acquaintance he had made on the train, a
few minutes before the accident occurred
He was told by the conductor that IL he
went back 70 the next passenger coach he
would be able to go through to his destina-
ti0n without further change Of cars. In
company with the other gentleman and the
conductor he started to go back. The other
two men were in advance Of him, and as
they reached the platform the conductor
looked out and made the remark, THE
train Is running faster than it ought" He
then reached up and pulled the signal cord.
This was followed by so sudden Stacking
up Of speed that Mr.. Remilliard was thrown
OH his feet, and instantly the rear cars left
the track. Remlliard is confident it was
the sudden Stacking of speed that caused the
cars 10 rebound from the track. He saw the
car next to the smoker, into which HIS ac-
quaintance and the conductor had just
stepped, tear away aud topple over the
bridge. The jar had stunned him, but he
hurried as soon as possible to the wreck and
assisted in the rescue Of the unfortunate
passengers who were pinned down by the
debris.
The important bearing Of Mr.. Remilliard's S
statement lies in the alleged fact that as
soon as the signal to the engineer was given
the ears left the rails, and that ii was given
for the purpose Of reducing the speed Of the
train. Both the engineer and fireman have
testified to hearing the signal in the cab, to
the immediate application Of the brake, and
to seeing the cars topple over the bridge but
this Is the first intimation that the cars had
not left the track when the signal was given.

transfer to the summer of 1888. This result
will unsettle more than 800 skilled workmen
now employed in the factories here and will
affect multitude of people dependent upon

kept intact so far as possible, and that all

Student HlII,s Triumph.

CARLISLE, Penn, Feb. 17.--The manda-
mus suit Of student John M. Hill against the
Faculty of Dickinson College was concluded
to-day with q verdict for the plaintiff. 1t
was one OF the most important cases ever
tried at this bar, and will effsctually put an
end to the summary manner in which college
Faculties dispose of students. The court
based its charge on the irregularity Of
Hilps trial. The information was furnished
by members Of the Faculty, and was solely
hcresay. No witnesses were called, and it
was not until they had drawn up a statement
to the effect that they were satisfied as to
HilPs completely that he had been sent for
and asked TO make statement. On the wit
ness stand the only evidence against Hill
was that be had been seen on the outside
Of the crowd on the campus on Nov. 8, and
that ianitor said he saw Hill excited. The
defence wanted to put the janitor on the
stand to prove Hill's guilt. but this was held
10 be irrelevant to the case, which rested en-.
tirely on the irregularity Of the Facnlty's

More Trotters Sold.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. 1.-THE second day

quality Of the stock was not up to the stand
ard of yesterday. The best price Of the sale
was that Of the stallion G. +. Clay, with a
record Of 2.1S, who, after some spirited bid
ding by New York, Iowa and Kentucky par
ties, was brought by breeders of the latter
State at good figure. The total for to-day 5
sale of Ga animals was S22,140, a grand total
for the two days of S52,740. 1t Is a notice
able fact that while many good trotters are

Kentuckians purchase as well as sell, and

monkeys to be Boycotted.

RICHMOND, KY. Feb. III. B. Parkes,
substantial farmer living near Kingston,
Madison county, has successfully trained a
hemp fields, and to break and prepare the
hemp for market. They do the work more
quickly and better than the negroes he
formerly employed, and at about one-fourth
the cost. 1t required about four months of
patient work to train the animals, but they
now do their tasks with rare intelligence.
The monkeys were sent to Mr.. Parkes by a
brother, who is in business in Cape Town,
South Africa, and who had seen the animals
put to similar uses there. Mr.. Parkes has
sent for ten more Of the useful imitators of
human workmep, six of them to be used by
John G. Taylor, a ncighboring farmer, who
is also an extensive raiser Of hemp.

EDISON NOT INSANE.
Members OF His Family Deny the Re-

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE rumors that
have been abroad during the past few days
about Thomas A. Edison being insane prove
to be all false. When Mr.. Edison left his
home last week for Florida he left his beau
tiful residence and property in charge of his
brother, William p. Edison. The latter was
seen at Llewellyn Park by reporter. "Have
| read the papers ?" he asked. "Oh, yes, and
think the reports about nay brother are alb
surd and ridiculous. When he went away
he was healthy and strong. If you could
have seen him you would not think him to be
the helpless individual the papers describe .
All that was the matter with him." said the
gentleman's wife, who was present, twas a
numb feeling on his right arm, and that was
caused by hyperdermic injection. We re-
received telegram direct from him yester-
day, and he stated that he and his party are
all well. he expected to reach Fort Meyers
by last night. He has gone down there to-
recuperate the strength he lost in his last
sickness. He sent small corps of working
men in advance. and he will probably do a
little work in his laboratory down there"
